Hallelujah Lyrics
π΅ Now, I’ve heard there was a secret chord,
πΆ That David played, and it pleased the Lord
π But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
πΌ It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
π΅ The minor fall, the major lift
π The baffled king composing Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
π Your faith was strong but you needed proof
π You saw her bathing on the roof
π« Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
βοΈ She tied you to a kitchen chair
βοΈ She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
πΆ And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
π΅ You say I took the name in vain
π I don’t even know the name
π But if I did, well really, what’s it to ya?
π₯ There’s a blaze of light in every word
πΆ It doesn’t matter which you heard
β€οΈ The holy or the broken Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
π I did my best, it wasn’t much
π€ I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
π€ I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool ya
π And even though it all went wrong
π I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
β¨ With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
β¨ Hallelujah
